Print Recipe

Irresistible Cinnamon Churro Cheesecake Bars combine crispy cinnamon-sugar coating with creamy cheesecake filling between flaky crescent roll layers. Ready in 45 minutes plus chilling time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 2packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cupgranulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoonpure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cupunsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cupgranulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoonground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Unroll the first can of crescent dough directly into your prepared pan. Gently stretch and press to cover the bottom completely, pinching any perforations closed.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth (about 2 minutes). Scrape down sides, add 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla, then beat another minute until fluffy.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture over the dough base, then use an offset spatula to spread evenly. Leave a tiny border (about 1/4 inch) around edges to prevent overflow.
  5. Carefully unroll the second dough can onto a clean surface. Gently transfer over the filling, stretching slightly to cover. Press edges lightly to connect with bottom layer.
  6. Brush melted butter evenly over top dough. Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon in a small bowl until uniform in color. Sprinkle the entire mixture over buttered surface.
  7. Bake 28-32 minutes until top is deep golden brown and center barely jiggles when shaken.
  8. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Then refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight before cutting into squares.

Notes

Always use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumpy filling
Bake until DEEP golden brown, not just lightly golden, to avoid soggy bars
Cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation
Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts for perfect squares
Can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored covered in refrigerator
Freeze individual bars wrapped in plastic for up to 3 months
